Distribution Update — Pic Journey Is Out in the Wild
A few weeks ago, we shared the news that Steam had rejected Pic Journey: Chapter One because of the combination of explicit adult content and photorealistic AI-generated fictional characters.
We decided not to censor or redesign the game to fit those restrictions.
Since then, Pic Journey: Chapter One has been released publicly, and something interesting has started to happen: the game is gradually finding its way onto adult gaming communities and third-party distribution sites on its own.
That organic spread is encouraging. It means people are discovering the game beyond the places where we originally published it, even without a major storefront behind us.
At the same time, we are still working on more official distribution options.
We have submitted Pic Journey to GOG and are currently waiting for their response. We have also contacted several adult-oriented platforms and distributors to see where the game might be a good fit without having to compromise its content or visual style.
There is no major announcement to make yet — and we would rather be honest about that than manufacture one.
But the project is moving forward.
Chapter One is finished and available, Chapter Two remains in active development, and we are continuing to build the distribution network around the game step by step.
One thing has become very clear during this process: finding the right home for an adult visual novel with photorealistic AI-assisted artwork is not always straightforward. But we would much rather take our time and find the right channels than change Pic Journey into something it was never meant to be.
Thank you to everyone who has been following the project, downloading the game, sharing it, or simply checking in from time to time.
We are still here.
We are still building.
And Pic Journey is slowly making its way out into the world.
